I'm curious about why they decided to design a one bedroom home. In my midwest hometown of ~10,000 people (which was also the biggest town for ~12 miles in any direction), one bedroom homes essentially don't exist (I checked Zillow and there's exactly 4 listed as for sale or recently sold).

Rural Studio typically does projects scaled to elderly, disabled and poor who would otherwise be renting mobile homes. The goal is to make them home owners with a durable asset.

Also the scale of the projects allow it to serve as a thesis project for Architecture students.

It's ironic that it's situated in Serenbe, an exclusive $300k-$1M+ 'new urban community' that, despite its efforts to appear otherwise, is designed for anyone other than the common person.
